My wife's calendar has some random reminders which she didn't add, and she can't delete.

Today, June 1, July 1, Sept 1, Oct 1, Now 1, January 1 and then every alternate 1st of the month there's an alarm for 8am and a smiley face. That's it.

I can turn off all her calendars from displaying (Samsung Calendar, Google Calendar and "My Tablet") but the smiley faces are still there.

All I can find on the net is somebody saying they represent Chinese days off, but that's a different thing.

WTF is going on?

I don't have these reminders.

Done that. Removed them all, and the smileys are still there.

If I tap on any day in her calendar, the smiley appears on that day, but if I go to a different month, or close the calendar and then go back, the smiley is back where it started.

Is it any different or editable in any other way when viewed in landscape.
This is in landscape, because it's on her tablet, but if I look at her phone, the reminders aren't there.

The only app which has calendar access permission on the tablet but not on the phone is Google Calendar Sync.

I have a smiley face on every single day, it's normal, never even thought about it.

EtA- if I tap the face it let's me add a sticker.
It's not normal, because I don't have them at all, she doesn't have them on every day and they weren't there a week ago. It turns out there's an 8am alarm to accompany them.

Nope. Go into Month view, and today (for instance) has a smiley. Click on that and it's a reminder - 8am to 9am - apparently created by my wife, with an alarm.

The usual options to edit, delete etc aren't there. Just Save or Cancel. I'll try to get some screenshots, but she's doing something on it just now.

Aah. So the smiley is the day you're on, so when I select June, the smiley is on the 1st because that's the 'active cell'?

If so, WTF was her alarm for this morning? confused

She has the Samsung calendar, the Google calendar and the "my tablet" calendar. I've turned off each in turn and the smileys don't go away.

But, as Road2Ruin has covered above, I think she's leading me on a merry dance, the smileys just indicate what day you're on, and the alarm was for something else...
